Morante was born in Peru in 1963 as the daughter of a professional jockey and because of her father&#39;s absolute dedication to horses, she held comtempt to anything related. This conflict was sufficiently intense to threaten even the state of her father&#39;s marriage. However, at the age of 14 her attitude completely reversed and the horse became the center of her life. She attempted to pursue a career as a jockey but to no avail.</p>
